It's Warm Out There

 


I ordered a light set and some reflective tape for the Go-Go and the carrier. Hopefully, when I get this taken care of, I should be done farting around with this project other than loading and unloading as needed.


We came pretty close to pegging the needle on the thermometer yesterday. The reading came up to 112, but the sun beating down on it jacked the temp up a bit. It was supposed to be a little cooler yesterday according to the Chicago weather, but it sure didn't feel like it. I rode the bike about 5 miles in the morning, and it was plenty soupy. I went out later in the evening about 6:30 and it didn't feel too bad then. I mowed until it was just about dark, since they're still calling for above average temperatures and some spotty rain. 


I drove the Missus to the dentist on Monday and this was posted in the elevator car. It didn't make any unusual noise until it was stopping on the third floor. Regardless of what the sign says, elevators are not supposed to make those kinds of noises. 

I've an appointment with the insurance agent for the annual review this morning after my bike ride, then boxing later in the evening. 

Field Day for the ham radio club this weekend. I was going to drag my little teardrop trailer over there and spend the night, but it's going to be in the nineties again. I've camped in hot humid conditions more than once and I can't say as I've missed it any. There's a presentation on antennas Saturday afternoon I want to be there for, but otherwise, I'll just help with set-up and teardown as needed.

It needs to cool down a bit so I can be a little more productive. Lots of projects and yard work to do.

  1. if the elevator makes noises... but they say it's okey dokey, how do you know then and or when or if the noise isn't a completely different noise than before.
    "don't worry the sign says noise is alright" but the noise NOW means the cable will snap at any given moment... lol. and besides that, what if the sign was made by a goof who wouldn't know one way or the other anyways? just trust the sign.

  2. Shop Teacher Bob could invent then fabricate "airbag elevator cable snapping shoes" for those who are afraid of elevators but these shoes have emergency
    deployable airbag soles that go off right before the elevator crashes down in the basement.

  3. The only reason I was on the elevator was because I was with my wife. I normally take the stairs, which is what I'll do next time.
